With great collaborators from Charité Berlin, the university hospitals in Münster, Essen, and Hannover, Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel Bielefeld, and St. Joseph Hospital Berlin – such a pleasure working with such a great team!

We’ve just initiated the final center change in our stepped-wedge Sweet-Water trial! Aiming to include approximately 4,500 patients by the end of the year — we’re extremely curious to see what we’ll find out. Should Glucose 5% be the universal drug solvent? #nephsky #nephrology #IntensiveCare

The sodium burden in ICU patients is off the charts! In an effort to bring about change, we’ve designed the Sweet-Water Trial — so excited that it’s up and running! #Nephrology #IntensiveCare #MedSky

…sometimes it feels like such a privilege working here! #Charité

Europe - still my favorite place on Earth:)

„Survival in the wealthiest U.S. quartile appeared to be similar to that in the poorest quartile in northern and western Europe.”

…looking forward to exiting Nephrology talks from Mayo Clinic and Charité at our first joint symposium! #nephsky #charite

CKD-Safari! Looking at kidney biopsies of elephants and dogs at the Kandy veterinary department in Sri Lanka! #Nephsky

In addition to reporting a biomarker, our protocol provides a foundation for deeper analysis of urinary TECs. Together with Leonie Wagner, @ninagoerlich.bsky.social, @janklocke.bsky.social, and many others!

OMG! Any details from the collegues in the US? Fingers crossed that the NIH funding will be continued very soon! NIH has made a huge difference for nephrology and medicine and is so important for our field! #NephSky

Case of the week, the blood gas analysis gave it away... #nephsky

Brief question regarding acute shunt occlusion: What potassium levels are acceptable to your anesthesia team for surgery (shunt thrombectomy) without requiring Shaldon catheter placement and prior dialysis? Are there any guidelines or official recommendations we could reference?

Thanks! I am glad Derek Guy made it on the list - we do need to work our outfits (smiley)…

fantastic to be here!

What happens if you change from NaCl 0.9% to Dextrose G5% solution as universal drug solvent on icu? Less hypernatriemia! So proud that this is out!

Very happy that our paper is out! Urinary CD4+ T cells predict renal flares in ANCA patients! bit.ly/JASN0311

This👇! Our research system is not ideally structured for cooperation! Great plenary at #KidneyWk

Very inspiring opening of #KidneyWk!
